Racket package thrift

This package provides an implementation of the core for Apache Thrift. While not a complete implementation of all the required and recommended capabilities it is reasonably complete.

Modules

• thrift - Common type definitions for the Thrift stack.
• thrift/idl/* - A Racket syntax for defining Thrift IDL in-line, and to generate Racket modules based upon an IDL.
• thrift/processor/* - Implementations for common processor types..
• thrift/protocol/* - Implementations for core protocol types.
• thrift/transport/* - Implementations for core protocol types.

Command Line Launchers

• rthrift - Used to generate Racket modules from Thrift IDL.

Example

(require thrift/protocol/compact
         thrift/transport/memory)

(define t (open-output-memory-transport))
(define p (encoder t))

((encoder-message-begin p) (message-header "mthod" 7 9))

((encoder-struct-begin p) "mthod_args")

((encoder-field-begin p) (field-header "name" type-string 1))
((encoder-string p) "simon")
((encoder-field-end p))

((encoder-field-begin p) (field-header "age" type-byte 2))
((encoder-byte p) 48)
((encoder-field-end p))

((encoder-field-begin p) (field-header "brilliant?" type-bool 3))
((encoder-boolean p) #f)
((encoder-field-end p))

((encoder-struct-end p))

((encoder-map-begin p) (map-header type-string type-int32 3))
((encoder-string p) "first")
((encoder-int32 p) 101)
((encoder-string p) "second")
((encoder-int32 p) 102)
((encoder-string p) "third")
((encoder-int32 p) 103)
((encoder-map-end p))
 
((encoder-message-end p))

(write (transport-output-bytes t))
